Mbarara is Rising and Innovation is at the Center of it Last weekend starting Friday i was invited by the @joshtecsug and partners like @HiveColabMbra , who were the main organiser of the #HackMbarara26 , from the first day to the last day what have seen was something powerful for the people of Mbarara City. I saw not just ideas , codes but generation choosing to solve real problems the society is facing in Mbarara while they think Globally As a mentor, I walked into this experience expecting to guide teams. But truthfully, I found myself learning just as much specific from fellow mentors and the participants 💡 I saw young innovators: 🔄 Turning local challenges into scalable solutions 🔄 Collaborating under pressure with clarity and purpose 🔄 Building not just products but vision To me what makes Mbarara city unique is not just talent. It’s the untapped potential waiting for the right structure, mentorship, and ecosystem to unlock it. 🔍 My Key Takeaways: 🔄 Ideas are everywhere execution is everything remaining. Many teams had brilliant concepts, but the real difference came down to how fast and clearly they could execute their Ideas 🔄 Team formation is the real game-changer Through sessions of team building that i held with the participants that challenges, them to became clear in all what they are doing. The best teams are not the smartest individuals, but those who communicate, adapt, and trust each other. 🔄 Mentorship is not about giving answers. To me It’s about asking the right questions that unlock thinking of the young Innovator. 🌍 The Bigger Picture To me #HackMbarara26 is more than an event. It is: 🔄 A pipeline for future founders in the region. 🔄A testing ground for innovation in Uganda 🔄 A signal that regional ecosystems in Uganda are waking up through varies reginal Innovation hub given by @MoICT_Ug and the @innovationhubug And if we support it right with: 🔄 Structured mentorship 🔄 Access to funding 🔄 Continuous learning platforms We won’t just build startups but we will be building a sustainable innovation ecosystems for Uganda My Commitment My personal commitment to the organisers, fellow mentors and the participants is that I am committed to: 🔄 Mentoring beyond the hackathon 🔄 Supporting teams to move from ideas to real products 🔄 Building bridges between innovators and opportunities Because innovation should not end when the event ends but the it should continue to strive. To all participants, organizers, and fellow mentors you are building something bigger than you think. And to Mbarara city This is your moment. Own it and always participate in large numbers to bring Mbarara as the centre of innovation in Western Uganda and Uganda at large @MiriamBirungi | @PatrickKaweesi4 | @Rebeccabaguma | @MackayNamanya #HackMbarara26 #Innovation #Startups #Uganda #Mentorship #EcosystemBuilding
